Worst knitter on earth = ME



It has been over a year my friends and I'm a very bad blogger. What i mean is, "Hey how have you been"? If anyone read this it is very unlikely that you read my blog when i first started it, unless your Kate. So, um it's been a while and i have been busy.
If you look at my former posts you may recognize this sweater but in a purple colorway. That's right it's the Purple Crush sweater by Elanor Lynn from Cozy Knits for Cuddly Babies, and I heart it. This is my cousin Shania, and i knit this blue colorway for her last Christmas. She is two now so I'm thinking this year a ballet style wrap sweater, Maybe in some pink Mexican wave.

Here is a wrap i knit for a very close friend of mine who was in a awful car wreck. She loves purple so I combined lots of purple yarn for this striped, warm piece of comfort. So the picture is lame but it was a fantastic project.



I also did the felted Alpaca by Bev Galeskas. I made her out of gray Alpaca and a tan mohair. I wanted to teach a three session class on felted stuffed animals but i didn't get much response.
Maybe I am the only one who loves stuffed animals and would felt them all the time if it would pay the bills.



So i knit this super cute hat for my friend Matt because he gave me a queen sized mattress. I used the Fibonacci String to work the stripe sequence. If you are not familiar with The Fibonacci String you need to learn about it. Anyway I used Sky Tweed as the yarn and it worked up well.



As of late i knit the Sherwood sweater by Angela Hahn form Knitty.com for my friend Alanna's new daughter Sara. It's a little big for her right now but I think she will grow into it.
I really wanted to start rewriting in my blog because Ravelry got me all motivated. If you haven't signed up yet get on the list, Ravelry.com makes my day.
